Information Collection Request Title:
Nurse Anesthetist Traineeship (NAT)
Program Application
OMB No.: 0915–0374—Revision
Abstract: HRSA provides advanced
education nursing training grants to
educational institutions to increase the
numbers of Nurse Anesthetists through
the NAT Program. The NAT Program is
authorized by Section 811 of the Public
Health Service (PHS) Act (42 U.S.C.
296j). The NAT Tables request
information on program participants
from the previous year, including the
number of enrollees; number of
enrollees/trainees supported; number of
graduates; number of graduates
supported; projected data on the
number of enrollees/trainees and
graduates; the degree program (Master’s
and Doctoral) the Nurse Anesthesia
student trainees are enrolling into and/
or from which enrollees/trainees are
graduating; and the distribution of
Nurse Anesthetists who practice in
underserved, rural, and/or public health
practice settings.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: Funds appropriated for the
NAT Program are distributed among
eligible institutions based on a formula,
as permitted by PHS Act Section
806(e)(1). HRSA uses the data from the
NAT Tables to determine the award
amount, ensure compliance with
programmatic and grant requirements,
and provide information to the public
and Congress.
HRSA is streamlining the data
collection forms from three tables to two
tables by making the following changes:
• Table 1—NAT: Enrollment,
Traineeship Support, Graduates,
Graduates Supported, and Projected
Data will no longer capture data by
students in the first 12 months of study
and students beyond the first 12 months
of study in the program. Data will
continue to be captured by Master’s and
Doctoral students.
• Table 2A—NAT: Graduate Data—
Rural, Underserved, or Public Health is
PO 00000
Frm 00059
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
now Table 2 due to the elimination of
Table 2B. There are no other changes to
this form.
• Table 2B—NAT: Graduates
Supported by Traineeship Data—Rural,
Underserved, or Public Health (7/01/15–
6/30/16) will be discontinued.
Rationale: The NAT Program Specific
Data Forms will be revised to streamline
the process and capture only essential
data for use in the formula calculation,
ensure grantee compliance, and measure
and evaluate the program.
Likely Respondents: Eligible
applicants are education programs that
provide registered nurses with full-time
nurse anesthesia education and are
accredited by the Council on
Accreditation (COA) of Nurse
Anesthesia Educational Programs. Such
programs may include schools of
nursing, nursing centers, academic
health centers, state or local
governments, and other public or
private nonprofit entities authorized by
the Secretary to confer degrees to
registered nurses for full-time nurse
anesthesia education. Faith-based and
community-based organizations, Tribes,
and tribal organizations may apply for
these funds if otherwise eligible. In
addition to the 50 states, the District of
Columbia, Guam, the Commonwealth of
Puerto Rico, the Northern Mariana
Islands, American Samoa, the U.S.
Virgin Islands, the Federated States of
Micronesia, the Republic of the
Marshall Islands, and the Republic of
Palau may apply.
Burden Statement: Burden in this
context means the time expended by
persons to generate, maintain, retain,
disclose or provide the information
requested. This includes the time
needed to review instructions; to
develop, acquire, install and utilize
technology and systems for the purpose
of collecting, validating and verifying
information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing
and providing information; to train
personnel and to be able to respond to
a collection of information; to search
data sources; to complete and review
the collection of information; and to
transmit or otherwise disclose the
information. The total annual burden
hours estimated for this Information
Collection Request are summarized in
the table below.

Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program
Outcomes and Expanded Insurance
Coverage
OMB No. 0906–xxxx—NEW
Abstract: HRSA, HIV/AIDS Bureau
(HRSA/HAB) implements the Ryan
White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP).
This program provides HIV-related
services in the United States for those
who do not have sufficient health care
coverage or financial resources for
coping with HIV disease. The recent
expansion of health coverage impacted
a significant portion of RWHAP’s
traditional clients (newly-eligible
Medicaid recipient clients, qualified
health plan (QHP) insured clients, and
uninsured clients) who are now eligible
to receive third party reimbursement
care. These changes require RWHAP
sites to fill the different gaps in care
experienced by clients across the
varying health care coverage options.
The purpose of this evaluation study is
to determine the effect that changing
health care coverage has had on overall
health outcomes, service utilization, and
gaps in care of HIV-positive individuals.
This evaluation also seeks to understand
how RWHAP provider sites meet the
needs of clients under the variety of
health care coverage options.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: The expansion of health
coverage offers new options of obtaining
health care services for many
individuals with HIV. Due to these
changes, additional information
concerning overall client health
outcomes, pharmaceutical and core
medical processes and outcomes, and
client access to and utilization of

support services is needed. Data from
this evaluation study will be used to
provide HRSA/HAB with the necessary
information to understand the changes
in primary health care outcomes of
RWHAP clients, pre- and postimplementation of recent insurance
expansion and inform how the RWHAP
can best serve clients.
As a result of the 60-day Federal
Register Notice, two comments were
received. Both commenters strongly
supported the proposed information
collection and urged HRSA to include
whether access and coverage to medical
nutritional therapy and food bank/home
delivered meals are impacted by the
expanded insurance coverage. Medical
nutrition therapy and food bank/homedelivered meals had already been
included in the project design.
Likely Respondents: RWHAP
Administrators, RWHAP Care Providers,
and RWHAP Clients.
Burden Statement: Burden in this
context means the time expended by
persons to generate, maintain, retain,
disclose, or provide the information
requested. This includes the time
needed to review instructions; to
develop, acquire, install and utilize
technology and systems for the purpose
of collecting, validating and verifying
